A member asked:

What takes place when youre being admitted to the psych ward? do they think less of you? because i think less of myself, and slightly afraid. i dont want a ton of people knowing and checking on me either.

Agree with Dr. F: Do not be concerned about what others think of you. Get treated for the illness. Psychiatric is illness like any other illness. It is not a moral failing. Wish you good health!
